Can someone reformat and post answers here? Maybe when its done, in a single post?
An Archer RPG by Chris Avellone would be pretty awesome.

Why miss it when Fallout 4 is most certainly due in time for next-gen consoles and PC in a couple years. Me, I'm bored with it as far as it's been explored in the series so far. Wasteland 1 was set up as an alternate 1980s Cold War resolution, so the world of WL1 is basically late 20th century desert towns, repurposed locations and disused relics of the late 80s, like a Mad Max/Road Warrior view of the post-apocalypse except with killer robots and cyborgs, unfriendly wildlife, cultists, and mutants added to the roving gangs of thugs. It'll hopefully look more distinctive than what was only outlined roughly in written descriptions, but I assume it will look like a modern Fallout might if it had stayed top-down/iso but with an 80s theme in place of the 50s one that Fallout is defined by.

Not bad at all.
they will make everything in 3D anyway as they did with Infinity engine.
No I think he's accurate because Fallout 3 and NV brought Fallout back for a new generation, I know Wasteland is different and was before Fallout 1 but it was also 25 years ago.
I disagree I think that it helped because lot's of people enjoyed Fallout 3 and NV but even the one's that didn't are going to support this type of project especially type of game this is, I know that's why I did because I never played Wasteland 1 but I adore the Fallout games and I am sure I will enjoy Wasteland 2.

That "generation" is not the one pledging to this project in droves. Read their forums and look at every scrap of feedback. People don't want Fallout 3, they want Wasteland 2. The games have almost nothing in common.
I literally don't know what you're saying exactly, but if you think that Fallout 3 is in any way similar to Wasteland 2 you should take your money back right now because you're in for a disappointment.
That's true but It doesn't mean that those games didn't bring back awareness to the previous games in the series or even Wasteland as it was a Ancestor to the Fallout games and that generation can be supporting it as well.
I really don't get you, I never said it's going to be like Fallout 3 but It will share similarities with Fallout 1 and 2.
I just don't understand how you can say I should take my money back when you've made a thread bitching about the Linux version.
Bethesda gets too much shit on "hardcore" forums for a decent reboot to Fallout even though it's a totally different game. Some people played FO3 and then played FO1-2 and loved them for different reasons. And some of them might have contributed to this project.

Fallout 3 is a product of publisher
Shithouse claimed that Bethesda helped this project "more than anything else" which is a far cry from your reasonable scenario.
Does your ignorance know no bounds? I am not expecting it to be anything like Fallout 3. I know exactly what I am getting with Wasteland 2 and I am looking forward to it.

And we're done here. I need to stop falling for the trollbait.

Interesting, might mean tablets are still an option down the road if they choose it.
Yeah, Fallout 3 was different but good. I like the first person perspective and the open world structure. And, yes, I'm sure Fallout 3 and New Vegas had parts to play in drawing attention to this project of those who'd probably have not cared otherwise.
does it support tablets? it supports Mac OS X but not tablets as far as I know.
I can ask though...

Not only that but I'm sure money was budgeted for an engine. That money could then be reallocated to some other part of development.
On the webpage It lists IOS and Android, I think it's safe to assume it would support tablets as well but I am not sure.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

What's so bad about the engine? I've had no experience with it.
this engine also supports Linux.
I'm not sure if Fargo accepts the offer though because they might choose more familiar engine to work with but who knows.
nothing. I was refering to "marketing guys" quote.

I think he said he was going to try different engines and show us how it looked in each and then call for input. I assume that engines allow you to sample before licensing?

edit:
I got into old crpg's because of Fallout 3. I think it's a good gateway game as it were.

Given their tight deadline and resources, I'm not sure I'd push for wholly unfamiliar software. Could introduce a lot of unforeseen issues that could delay the game. I'm sure they've got what they need, aside from the RPG-focused tools Obsidian brings to the table.

What kind of engines have they worked with in the past then? I can't imagine that leaves a lot available.
well, at least these guys will definitely allow Fargo to sample their engine.

I think Unity also has a free version available to everyone.
and UDK
also Crytek have released a new version of their free SDK today, DX11 support included.

That's a lot more to my liking. Great post-apoc setting and a good visual update of a classic enemy.

cool looking modernised version of the scorpitron with parallels to some of the ghost in the shell robot attack mech. This is going to be sick if they can translate this to the game.

Well, I'm going to miss it because it's highly unlikely that Obsidian will work with the franchise while it's still in Bethesda's hands. And Bethesda's handling of the IP isn't particularly inspiring. New Vegas was far more interesting and engaging than Fallout 3 and I can't really envision Bethesda matching Obsidian's creativity. The 50's Americana was new and interesting compared to the old Road Warrior and Mad Max vibe.
But it is as it is. I'll certainly get over it. I'm sure Avellone will find other interesting things to entice me with the new IP. Hell, I'm curious to see what they'll do to distinguish themselves from Fallout beyond merely the aesthetics.
I doubt it's as simple as just using a different compiler for the 3 different platforms. You probably have to optimize differently on each platform, based on the platforms individual kinks.
